The graphs of the functions sin(x) and cos(x) look like waves. Sound
travels in waves, although these are not necessarily as regular as those
of the sine and cosine functions.
Since a computer cannot listen to music as we do, the only way to get
music into a computer is to represent it mathematically by its
constituent sound waves.
This is why sound engineers, those who research and develop the
newest advances in computer music technology, and sometimes even
composers have to understand the basic laws of trigonometry.
Waves move across the oceans, earthquakes produce shock waves and
light can be thought of as traveling in waves. This is why trigonometry
is also used in oceanography, seismology, optics and many other fields
like meteorology and the physical sciences.

Digital Imaging
The edges of these triangles form what looks like a wire frame of the
object in the image. Using this wire frame, it is also possible to make
the object move realistically.
